Description of the Smart IoT Workshop

Building intelligent applications for everyday use is the long-cherished aim of Artificial Intelligence (AI). With numerous devices deployed and used in day-to-day applications including mobile phones, tablets, wearable and other connected sensing and actuation devices, collectively referred to as the Internet of Things (IoT), there is an unprecedented opportunity to develop contextually intelligent applications with far-reaching societal implications. They can deliver fine-grained services in various areas such as healthcare, manufacturing, transportation and social good. These intelligent applications and services, however, could also pose privacy, security and trust issues and risks.

The purpose of the workshop is to discuss how AI techniques can help consume data from IoT to build intelligent applications. The workshop aims to bring together academic researchers and industry practioners who are interested in advancing the state-of-the-art not merely in their specific sub-fields of AI, but also in multi-disciplinary areas in order to solve problems with business as well as societal impacts.


Workshop Topics

By 2020, 50 billion Internet of Things (IoT) are expected to be deployed. That is, massive number of IoTs will be continuously or periodically make the data the generate available on the internet. This workshop will explore the possibilities of using Artificial Intelligence (AI) including machine learning, NLP, and semantic Web techniques to create new solutions that exploit the IoT generated data. The workshop will provide an opportunity to share new findings, exchange ideas, discuss research challenges, present demonstration of unique applications and report latest findings. The workshop will cover a range of topics including, but not limited to:

  • Semantic sensor (IoT) data
  • Information extraction from real-world data streams
  • Machine Learning, knowledge-enabled and spatio-temporal processing applied IoT data
  • AI techniques for intelligent IoT data fusion
  • Context-aware applications and services
  • Linked open IoT data, repositories of semantic IoT data
  • Semantic IoT data management
  • Chatbots using NLP and IoT data
  • Reasoning with IoT data, including semantic, cognitive and perceptual computing
  • Ethical and privacy issues with IoT data
  • Human computer interface (HCI) issues, Data visualization
  • Applications in smart city, healthcare, transportation, energy, public safety, disaster coordination and other areas
  • Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) applied to IoT

Title: Edge computing and its applications to health and safety for the masses

Abstract: Edge computing is a paradigm of computing that is concerned with bringing computation closer to the data sources, instead of the the traditional approach of bringing all data to a compute engine such as the cloud. Given the massive growth in data as well as resource-rich IoT devices at the edge, peer-to-peer and collaborative learning from data at the edge is a real possibility. This talk describes two applications of edge computing: Mesh Network Alerts (MNA) for enabling citizens to receive severe weather information even when there is no connectivity; and Nightingale for enabling patients to receive health predictions personalized for them. MNA is a delay-tolerant p2p network of commonly available android and iOS devices that is presently in use by more than a million users in emerging countries. The network is used for broadcasting severe weather information in a trusted manner without requiring any networking infrastructure. Nightingale describes early ideas on a combination of distributed learning and transfer learning on mobile devices to provide personalized risk assessments to patients of asthma, migraine, and others. Although the risk assessments are based on weather, user history, and user behavior data, the data never leaves the users' devices to protect the privacy of the user.
